I absolutely love my Weber Smokefire EX6 (2nd Gen) wood pellet smoker/grill! This versatile appliance has truly exceeded my expectations. I've put it through its paces, cooking everything from brisket to halibut, and it has delivered outstanding results every time.
One of the features that I appreciate the most is the ability to turn it on and easily keep track of and control temperatures both on the unit and for what I am cooking. This has given me the confidence to experiment with different recipes and cooking techniques, knowing that the Smokefire EX6 will maintain the perfect temperature throughout the entire process.
In terms of performance, I have encountered no issues whatsoever with this grill. It has consistently delivered mouthwatering results, and its durability gives me confidence that it will continue to do so for many more cookouts to come.
Overall, I highly recommend the Weber Smokefire EX6 to anyone who is serious about their outdoor cooking. It's a reliable and versatile appliance that has truly enhanced my culinary experiences.
I have trouble with this grill 7 out of 10 uses. Typically I get flame outs due to poor feeding, I have replaced the glow plug igniter at least once. The worst was a feed motor failure in the middle of a Boston butt 18 hour cook. The grill itself is well built and looks like it will last many years. The feed system apparently was designed by a 1st year engineering student as it is a total failure. I guess that’s why they stoped making it. By the way my grill is just barely 1 year old and it gave trouble from day one.
I own a gen 1 smokefire 4 and needed more due to my use or demand for good quality smoked food I expect to burn up probably around two pallets of master blend pellets alone this summer
Everytime I use this it shuts down. I wish I could rely on this because I like the concept. I use Weber Brand pellets and keep it clean but it doesn't help. Disappointed in the Weber Brand
I've had it for a few years and have had more problems than I care to deal with. Have to use weber pellets, randomly drops temperature and has to re ignite. Pit boss will be my next purchase.
Ignite issues. Now a motor failure. Barely a year old.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We will be happy to get your igniter working again. You will receive an outreach very soon. We appreciate your continued patience and for sticking with us.
So far so good, after making pulled pork, beef plate ribs, baby back, spare ribs, prime rib roast still determining best rack placement for meat and water trays. Hoods a little lose now but the rest of the grill is in great shape and working really well.
